Astros second baseman Jose Altuve doubled home a pair of runs in the fifth inning to help Houston overcome a two-run deficit and take a 3-2 lead over the Detroit Tigers through six innings on Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park.

Nick Castellanos put the Tigers on the board with an RBI double in the second inning, and Victor Martinez belted his seventh homer in the fourth to give the Tigers an early 2-0 lead. But the Astros mounted a three-run rally in the fifth, highlighted by George Springer's solo home run off Tigers starter Drew Smyly. It was the first home run of Springer's career.
